Weaving Intensive—Double Weave
January 17-19, 2026
This year’s study and workshop will be focused on Double Weave. As you study this structure and decide on your particular project, please share that information with Rebecca Winter so there are a variety of projects for the attendees to work on. Looms are available to borrow from the guild, but they go fast. Contact Vila Cox to reserve a loom. If you are using it for the Intensive, the rental fee is waived for that month. More information and registration will be announced in the October 25 Newsletter.
Intensive Committee: Chelsea Grigsby, Kelly Sandusky, Cindy Griewe and Rebecca Winter.
Pay for 2026 IntensiveUnderstanding Profile Drafts
by Deb Essen
June 19-21, 2026
Learn how to use profile drafts as a powerful weaving design tool! We will learn how to translate a profile draft into thread by thread drafts for several weave structures. We will also discuss what kind of weave structures can use profile drafts and what structures can’t. Samples in round robin format, so everyone will go home with a sample of at least 5 weave structures discussed in class and have a chance to play with them.
